À propos de cet audio

This week's book, "Hannibal's Invisibles" by G. Faye Dant, provides a deeper look into the lives and contributions of Black Americans in Hannibal, the boyhood home of Mark Twain.

Faye shares how, until 2013, the only public acknowledgment of Black contributions to Hannibal's history was a 1934 sign welcoming visitors that referenced "the n-word Jim" from Twain's novels. Faye's mission is to preserve this history and give a voice to the Black residents of Hannibal, both before and after the Civil War. Through her museum, Jim's Journey: The Huck Finn Freedom Center, and her book, Faye is uncovering the untold stories of Hannibal's thriving Black community.
